I hope all of you have been well. We are trying to survive the early FREEZE it has been so cold here and WE HAVE SNOW It's been a long time since we have had snow on the ground this early not sure how to deal with this My oldest son Andy is home for a few days, he has not been home for 2 years and we are so happy to have him here, BUT the visit is clouded by where he will be going after he leaves. He is going to Iraq, they gave him two weeks notice to pack his gear and GET MOVING! This is not a deployment with the Marine Corps it's with the DCMA which oversea's all military contracts. There was a bit of a mess up with the Army handeling the contractors over in the SANDBOX so because Andy is valued at being a QA they called him up. IT SUCKS this close to Christmas that he has to go but it's all part of the job. On the brighter side though he and his girlfriend Chie are ENGAGED!!!! We are very happy about that. She will be coming to visit us in June hopefully when he gets R&R. Now on the sad side Luke and Em are calling it quits, not unexpected but still very sad. He will be staying in Hawaii and she will be coming back to live with her parents. They did find a good home for Keylo though, ONE WITH KIDS ;D and the family is from Wisconsin ;D Luke said he is doing really well and is very happy with his new family. My son Josh is still in Japan just had a shoulder surgery so he will not be going anywhere anytime soon THANK GOODNESS Andy and Raven are getting along so well. SHE ADORES HIM and although he needs to learn exactly how to get the MOST OUT OF HER he is getting a real good taste of what life will be with his BIG FURRY SHEPPY My two big goofs are doing well they seem to actually like this cold and snow, STRANGE DOGS So I hope everyone is well and enjoying the winter ;D
